Ukraine Update

Update about the past weekend. Chad and Mary and their team were able to send five 21-ton trucks to the two conflict zones Sumy and Zaporozhye. Another update they were able to give is that they have distributed over 200 tonnes of food, which have been distributed by 20 trucks and 180 sprinter vans across the country. According to Chad, it is just crazy what this team has been able to do in such a short period of time. 

 

This week they will focus on getting more food and necessities, to be able to help more refugees. The help is still needed, as many refugees are still passing through the local churches and Chad and Mary’s house in need of help.

Ukraine update

After sending out more than 450 deliveries across the country, Mary and I decided to take a direct part in distributing food and supplies by traveling to northern Ukraine. The first day, we brought in supplies to Irpin and Bucha where they will be distributed throughout the communities.     The following day, we attempted to travel to Chernobyl but were not able to make it as bridges had been destroyed by the Russian army. There were only a few families remaining in the village that had been completely devastated. Being able to participate in delivering even just a small amount of food and supplies gave me a greater appreciation for all the help that has, and continues to be, provided all across the country. It's not about the numbers or statistics, but rather the provision for people in their darkest of hour. Thank you to all who have contributed towards that effort.

Ukraine Update

 In December 2021, the Fraser Valley group sent boxes to Ukraine. As Russian forces were driven back, routes were opened and this past week our partners began receiving the boxes which included 39 of them to Poltava. Thank you so much to all for caring for the needs of Ukrainians. “We have 50,000 refugees officially registered in our town here and unofficially it’s about 100,000. We can’t express to you how much this help means to us. Many people received beddings, clothes, shoes and other supplies. The Lord is giving us tremendous opportunities to help people. I was also able to bring food supplies to many of the surrounding areas.” - Tent Ministry (Michael)

Ukraine Update

Each day that passes by there is so much that is happening in Chad’s and Mary’s house. The people have a variety of needs in terms of what they are going to do and where they are going to. Chad and Mary had transports to the border to help some people get across the border. They are also looking for longer term care for those who can’t either get across the border.   Chad had also the opportunity to visit the warehouse today, where he is in awe of what God is doing. There’s been over a hundred points of locations where sprinter vans have gone. Even in some of the most difficult places there are volunteers that are taking smaller loads of food and supplies to the different points within the cities.    According to Chad it has been remarkable what God is doing, through those who are contributing back home and through the team that has been established in Ukraine. It has been mind-blowing how much food that they were able to buy, it has been over 120 tons of food.  There are refugees who
